Abstract
Structural optimization problems pertaining to maximization of the minimum (or minimization of the maximum) of a set of weighted criteria for given cost, are considered. It is shown that maximization of the initially smaller of the (weighted) criteria and using this as a lower bound in an iterative mathematical programming formulation leads to a very efficient method for solution of problems with global as well as local objectives.
